Attribute order of displaying BO with DISPLAY action

mjshen

Could anyone kindly advise how to specify the order of attribues when displaying a BO using DISPLAY action?

Thanks,

If you are talking about using the DISPLAY action to display a query, the order of the attributes are determined by the query specificiations.

Thanks for the reply. I overlooked to use 'Rule Form' to define my query before.

Sorry I have to mention the question again. I'd like to perform a query from a form, which trys find out all instances that are 'similar to' current instance, for example:

FIND City WHERE City.Region = ThisCity.Region

I was not successful to use pre-defined query. But I could use a start process with DISPLAY action to get the result, as

DISPLAY City WHERE City.Region = ThisCity.Region

However, the attributes of City in result were not ordered. How can I specify the order of attribues with DISPLAY action?

Thanks,

You should be able to use a predefined query. Your query should look exactly like you said:

FIND City WHERE City.Region = ThisCity.Region

In other words, you can assume in your predefined query that ThisCity is in the contect. Then you should define attributes to display in this query.

You can then use the query directly as an operation on the form without creating a process. Or if you do want to use a process, the process should say:

DISPLAY 'My Query'

where 'My Query' is the name of your predefined query
